The House of Representatives is about to pass a $648.7 billion Defense
Appropriations bill, perhaps as soon as this evening. Yesterday over 100
national and grassroots groups signed a "No War Funding" letter to the
Congressional Progressive Caucus. Historians Against War was pleased to endorse this
effort. Support for the letter reflects grass-roots outrage over the
willingness of Congress to keep paying for the military, while slashing vitally
important domestic programs.
For text of the letter and signers:

Now is the time to call all members of Congress. Voting on the 2012
Defense Appropriations bill could come as early as this evening. This bill
provides $648.7 for the military, including $118 billion for the Afghanistan and
Iraq wars.
Capitol Switchboard: 202-225-3121
Tell your Representative to oppose further war funding for Afghanistan and
to vote against the entire 2012 Defense Appropriations bill. Message is
simple: we must not continue wasting lives and money. The United States
cannot afford another $648.7 billion for the military. Its time to bring our
war dollars home!
Please forward this message widely.!!!
Carolyn Eisenberg on behalf of the Historians Against War Steering
Committee.
